Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6 ounce) cod fillets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of the fillets lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the fillets in the prepared baking dish.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard to create the sauce.
- Spoon or brush half of the honey garlic sauce evenly over the top of the cod fillets.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove the dish from the oven and brush the remaining sauce over the fish.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius).
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- To keep the cod moist, avoid overcooking. Check for doneness around the 12-minute mark.
- This sauce pairs well with steamed broccoli or roasted asparagus.
- For a slight kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture.
